Other Mediums of Getting Information:

News reports are found in newspapers and their purpose is to inform readers of what is happening
around them.

Examples: Champion FIBA World Cup Basketball (Sports)

Typhoons
Killings

Speeches can also be one good source of information. Speech is the expression of ideas and thoughts
using articulate vocal sounds, or the faculty of thus expressing ideas and thoughts.

An informative speech or talk is a speech to impart knowledge, and to enhance understanding. It gives
information to an audience using verbal descriptions and it is similar to demonstrative speech, but it
doesn’t include a demonstration. In this kind of speech, you explain something to the audience and help
them understand the concept.

Example: Reports, lectures, training seminars, and demonstrations

A panel discussion is a specific format used in a meeting, conference, or convention. It is a live (or
recorded), in-person, virtual, or “hybrid” discussion about a specific topic amongst a selected group of
experts who share differing perspectives in front of an in-person, virtual, or geographically dispersed
audience.

The main purpose of a panel discussion is for the panelists to share their wisdom and provide insights to
create real value and takeaways for the audience. It’s an “up close and personal” discussion amongst the
panelists and with the audience. It’s the part of the story that you can’t find on Google, YouTube, or
TED.
